Masking required at healthcare sites today

As of today, masking is temporarily required in all clinical areas in hospitals and health-care facilities, including long-term care facilities across the province.

This applies to visitors/support persons, clients, patients (outpatient clinics and emergency departments) and health-care workers.

NL Health Services will continue to monitor epidemiology, hospitalizations and outbreaks, and masking guidelines will be re-evaluated by March 31, 2026.

The public is also reminded to self-screen for COVID-19/respiratory illness prior to entering a health-care facility.
